The U.S. economy shrank for a second quarter in a row—a common definition of recession—as businesses trimmed their inventories, the housing market buckled under rising interest rates, and high inflation took steam out of consumer spending.

Gross domestic product, a broad measure of the goods and services produced across the economy, fell at an inflation and seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.9% in the second quarter, the Commerce Department said Thursday. That marked a deterioration from the 1.6% rate of contraction recorded...

Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth comprise one working definition of recession, says Wells Fargo senior economist Tim Quinlan—but it's not the official one: Instead, the definitive call is up to the National Bureau of Economic Research, which defines a recession as "a significant decline in economic activity" lasting "more than a few months."

Trap..

Morgan Stanley  is urging investors to resist putting their money to work in stocks despite the market’s post-Fed-decision jump. 

Mike Wilson, the firm’s chief U.S. equity strategist and chief investment officer, said he believes Wall Street’s excitement over the idea that interest rate hikes may slow sooner than expected is premature and problematic.  

“The market always rallies once the Fed stops hiking until the recession begins. … [But] it’s unlikely there’s going to be much of a gap this time between the end of the Fed hiking campaign and the recession,″ he told CNBC’s “Fast Money” on Wednesday. “Ultimately, this will be a trap.”  

According to Wilson, the most pressing issues are the effect the economic slowdown will have on corporate earnings and the risk of Fed over-tightening.  

Wilson considers himself conservatively positioned — noting he’s underweight stocks and likes defensive plays including health care, REITs, consumer staples and utilities. He also sees merits of holding extra cash and bonds at the moment.

Some countries have Dictators running their countries. We have a Democratic President who was elected by the people. We are Far better than these other countries.

We attempted to get rid of these Dictators in Iraq by war, Syria by war, Libya by war, and Yemen. We have sanctions on other countries which destroyed their economies and left poor people hungry, sick people facing lack of medicine and certain death.  US citizens have not approve that?

Just a thought.

With this Inflation, prices sky high, gas, etc US citizens are paying an arm and a leg for food, gas etc. Their retirement plant is currently half of what it was, and here comes a recession to wipe everyone out.

The White House is saying anything to keep the Democratic Party in Power.  Just a thought.
